Ken Adams, our founder, famously said that CLC is 100% mission and 100% business. The global staff considers themselves to be missionaries with a calling to provide quality Christian literature to the nations. Carrying out this mission requires both a heart for ministry and a commitment to good work ethics and high product standards. There are no shareholders and no individual owners of the operation. God owns CLC.
CLC’s international staff are driven by God’s love, and desire to see people come to faith and spiritual maturity in Jesus Christ. We want to make God’s Word available throughout the world, along with books that share the message of redemption in Christ. If there are profits in the work of any of the 43 countries, we focus on expanding the global distribution of Christian literature. This allows us to reach out in cities and countries where there is true spiritual need for Christian literature. Yes, CLC is still 100% mission and 100% business.
